In a {{convert|100|g|oz|abbr=off}} amount, raw mushrooms provide 22 [[calorie]]s and are a rich source (20% or more of the [[Daily Value]], DV) of [[B vitamins]], such as [[riboflavin]], [[Niacin (nutrient)|niacin]] and [[pantothenic acid]], [[selenium]] (37% DV) and [[copper]] (25% DV), and a moderate source (10β19% DV) of [[phosphorus]], [[zinc]] and [[potassium]]. They have minimal or no [[vitamin C]] and [[sodium]] content. ===Vitamin D=== The [[vitamin D]] content of a mushroom depends on [[postharvest]] handling, in particular the unintended exposure to sunlight. The [[US Department of Agriculture]] provided evidence that UV-exposed mushrooms contain substantial amounts of vitamin D.<ref>{{cite web|author=Haytowitz DB|title=Vitamin D in mushrooms|url=https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/Articles/AICR09_Mushroom_VitD.pdf|publisher=Nutrient Data Laboratory, US Department of Agriculture|access-date=16 April 2018|year=2009|archive-date=1 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210201181749/https://www.ars.usda.gov/ARSUserFiles/80400525/Articles/AICR09_Mushroom_VitD.pdf|url-status=live}}</ref> When exposed to [[ultraviolet]] (UV) light, even after harvesting,<ref>{{Cite journal | pmid = 22132934 | year = 2012 | last1 = Kalaras | first1 = M.
